Wedding (Cookie) Favors

If you’re still debating what type of favor to give at your wedding, remember that edible favors are always a hit. I personally like cookies. They come in pretty much any shape and are a delicious treat your guests can enjoy on the way home.

One of my favorite cookie companies, The Flour Pot in Philadelphia, has an amazing selection of wedding and non-wedding themed cookies that you can choose from. They ship nationwide so if you don’t live near the City of Brotherly Love you and your guests can still enjoy them.

But how to choose your cookie design…

First, think of your theme. Is it possible to make a cookie out of it? For most themes the answer is yes. You could also choose a cookie shape based on your wedding location or choose a very wedding-y design like a dress or ring.

Here’s a link to The Flour Pot Web site to help inspire you. And once you’ve picked your design, talk to the bakers about packaging ideas. You may want to customize a favor tag that matches the rest of your wedding stationery. Your invitation designer can help you do that or reach out to MyOwnLabels.com—they have a great selection of tags, packaging and sticker options.
